Harry Potter: Casting Stones Collectible Game is similar to a board game version of 'Rock-Paper-Scissors.' Players 'cast by rolling their allotted five coin-like 'asting Stones' to generate Spells, Potions or Charms, depending on which way the stones land. In true rock-paper-scissors spirit, a spell beats a potion, a potion beats a charm, and a charm beats a spell. The object is to beat your opponent's roll and end up putting a 'Gem' on one of the game board 'Turrets.' The first person to place four Gems on four consecutive Turrets wins.
